Enum
public enum Property {
A,
AB,
ABC;
}
Field
@Value("${custom.property}")
protected Property property;
application.properties (lower case)
custom.property=abc
When I'm running application I have an error:
Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [com.xxx.Property]: no matching editors or conversion strategy found.
Whereas (upper case):
custom.property=ABC
Works fine.
Is there a way to bind the value case insensitive? Like ABC, Abc, AbC, abc any pattern should work.
NOTE: I saw this question - Spring 3.0 MVC binding Enums Case Sensitive but in my case I have over 10 enums/values (and expect to have more) classes and to implement 10 different custom property binders would be painful, I need some generic solution.
@Value
and @ConfigurationProperties
features do not match. I couldn't stress enough how @ConfigurationProperties
is superior.
First, you get to design your configuration in a simple POJO that you can inject wherever you want (rather than having expressions in annotation that you can easily break with a typo). Second, the meta-data support means that you can very easily get auto-completion in your IDE for your own keys.
And finally, the relaxed binding described in the doc only applies to @ConfigurationProperties
. @Value
is a Spring Framework feature and is unaware of relaxed binding. We intend to make that more clear in the doc.
TL;DR abc
works with @ConfigurationProperties
but won't with @Value
.
